Gene expression is finely regulated at the post-transcriptional level. Features of the untranslated regions of mRNAs that control their translation, degradation and localization include stem-loop structures, upstream initiation codons and open reading frames, internal ribosome entry sites and various cis-acting elements that are bound by RNA-binding proteins.
基因表达在转录后水平受到精细调控。控制mRNA翻译、降解和定位的非翻译区的特征包括茎环结构、上游起始密码子和开放阅读框、内部核糖体进入位点以及与RNA结合蛋白结合的各种顺式作用元件。
